This is pretty cool.

“REMEMBER THE LAST TIME YOU RECEIVED SOMETHING MEANINGFUL IN THE MAIL? PROBABLY NOT.

Despite the marvel that is the modern postal system, we typically find our mailboxes overflowing with credit card offers and magazines we don’t want. 

But what if I told you that you could receive (or send) a meaningful piece of mail from Timbuktu while also providing some work to some unemployed tourist guides?

Timbuktu?“

“FYI WE ARE NOT AMAZON.COM. SHIPPING TIMES WERE ALREADY SOMEWHAT ERRATIC BEFORE TWO COUPS D’ETAT IN MALI AND A GLOBAL PANDEMIC. YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO TRACK YOUR PACKAGE DOWN TO THE METER (ACTUALLY YOU WON’T BE ABLE TO TRACK IT ALL) AND WE CANNOT SPECIFY ARRIVAL DATES. THAT SAID, YOUR CARD IS ON A PROPER ADVENTURE AND WILL ARRIVE SOON – RELATIVELY SPEAKING.”
